Speaking of web recruiting, I really don't like the web interface this year. It seems like everything takes forever.

I actually don't mind the online recruiting, although it seems you get less points when you choose "recruit pick" and something else that escapes me right now.

It is slow, and I don't think it summarizes the total points gained correctly. I still do most of my recruiting via the web these days.

I am curious as to what happens with SpyNavy as my game is against him this week.

You should get a win.

whoa whoa whoa...no...you need to put MSU in its place and take vengeance for my loss. I was trusting that you would do this. Now...far be it for me to tell you how to live, but this is Football...on Xbox...Nothing else comes before it. Cancel your trip, blow off whoever thought they were more important and beat Willhouse like a red headed step child. The Gods demanded it. (thunder clapping in the background)

Iowa beat Ohio State last night, 37-20. It should have been 37-14, but I gave up a dumb touchdown late. The biggest impression I have coming away from the game: don't run left against OSU. Period. Their ROLB is a beast. It took me much of two quarters to realize I should just forget about trying to crash through that wall. When he wasn't slipping blocks and tackling my HB in the backfield, he was being held. Ugh.

With regards to holding penalties: I had 5 last night (6 total penalties). OSU had none (0 penalties). I'm worried that the penalties are applied more readily to human than CPU players. Also, is there a defensive penalty that is EVER called aside from offsides/encroachment?

Pass defense by the CPU could maybe be increased. The safeties can still be pretty dumb when they have to make a choice about who to guard. Maybe that's unfixable.

EDIT: Also, my game was helped by the fact that I knocked OSU's starting QB out of the game early in the 3rd. He totaled 44 yards on 12 carries, but that included his negative sack yardage. Even with a spy, he had some good runs. However, he also liked throwing to my team...

Wish I could, but I am in Ft. Huachuca, Az and then out to China Lake.

Hear, hear...how is everyone's dynasty going?? I've got some recruits who are interested...but none committing yet. On the plus side, I got to badmouth Cincinnati a lot this last week!

I somehow managed to get the top QB in recruiting. I guess he loves the option! I have some 3 star lineman but nothing really spectacular yet. I have some 4 star recuitins that seem to be waiting for a visit before they commit.

Georgia Tech runs over Virginia. Time of possession 21 min to 11. I had one drive that lasted nearly the entire 3rd qurater.

My recruiting is going much better as Duke. Cincinnati isn't a good attraction

Lets get this week done.

Only myself, SpyNavy and one other remain. Spy though is gone for another week.

Edit: oops...wrong league on the earlier post!!

Looks like we still have Northwestern v. Purdue and a HvH game in Michigan St. v. Tulsa. Not all the others are done with recruiting (for shame... )

I'm traveling Sept. 1–8. I have games against Illinois and Minnesota in weeks 5 and 6. I wouldn't mind playing the Illinois game, but I suspect we won't roll by the time I leave. In that case, I think either or both of these could probably safely be simmed.

Spy I believe said to sim it. Plus I thought he was dropping and Jay was coming back.

No I said because I was going to be gone off and on for almost a month I'd be happy to drop if the commish wanted me to in order to make it easier for the league to roll etc... And that if I dropped maybe he would come back as a result.

Drop me, sim it, etc... Whatever is easier for The Commish. I'll be back one week and TAD again or another two weeks.

Sorry for the confusion Spy. Now maybe if the consular and shonuff can play this league might move along at a nice pace.

I'm ready to roll.

I played last night. I tried to recruit but EA servers were unresponsive. I'll finish when I get home tonight.

I hate to be the party pooper but I don't want to leave my game to chance by simming it. Have a decent chance at possibly going unbeaten provided I can get by Firesloth and make the Big Ten title game then needing to get by Northwestern.

My guess would be that Kush has to kick Spy out of the league so willhouse can play his game before we roll?

That would be correct or sim it.

Just kick me, I'm not back in town until Friday.

Hi all,

I'm leaving Saturday for a week. If we get rolled sometime tomorrow, I'll play my game. If not, I suppose we'll have to discuss what we do.

Spy, are you back for good on Friday, or headed right out again?

I got back tonight. Do I still have a game? I've lost track. I can probably do Friday. I think I leave again on the 8th.

Yep its still me and you Spy.
